The James Logan Courier

“They had labeled the one that had come before him a madman and refused to acknowledge his genius. But this time matters would unfold in a very different fashion.

When he had finished constructing the deadly device and demonstrated its enormous destructive energy, all of England, indeed all of Europe would be forced to hail the second Newton in its midst.”

So believes the villain of this novel. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t take the combined powers of Elenora Lodge and Arthur, the Earl of St. Merryn, into account. This was the first novel I read by Amanda Quick (a.k.a. Jayne Anne Krentz) and I was hooked right away. I was so hooked, as a matter of fact, that I went on to read every single title under the Quick pseudonym. It is excellently written and I enjoyed it from front to back—over and over and over again.

MINNEAPOLIS — Wally Lamb's new novel, 450,000 copies of which have just arrived in bookstores, is big enough to threaten Thanksgiving and maybe even Christmas, as readers ignore turkey basting and tinsel tossing to turn the 723 wide-ranging, heavily plotted pages of "The Hour I First Believed."

Lamb writes big books. And popular ones. Oprah Winfrey famously pulled an all-nighter reading Lamb's first novel, "She's Come Undone," the painful, funny coming-of-age saga of Dolores Price. She later included its paperback version and Lamb's 900-page second novel, "I Know This Much Is True," in her Book Club, a bestowal that invariably sends the anointed novel on a rocket ride.

Even a broken arm could not keep James Logan alumni and Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl safety, Roy Williams, from smiling.

“I’m happy to be back at Logan and I’m glad I can open up to the students,” says Williams. “I’ve spoken to crowds before, but I’m still nervous because I’m back in my old school.”

Roy could not help but mention his past and how happy it makes him today. “It makes me feel good to know that I can make it; even though people have told me I can’t.”
